ST. CUTHBERT'S BONES.
A Pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Miracle
Working Saint.

Pilgrimage to the Shrine of the Miracle
Working Saint.
A pilgrimage to the shrine of ST.
Cuthbert the patron saint of Lindis-
farne, Chester-le- Street and D lrham,
is being organized by a considerable
number Of fellow countrymen. This
pious expedition has for it's object the
celebration of the twelfth centenary
of ST. Cuthberl's death, which might,
perhaps, have been more a, propriately
COMMUNICATED on the goth of March.
that being the precise date at which
twelve hundred years ago the prior of
Lindisfarne shuff1ed off his mortal coil.
Danish incursions were harassing
the populations Of the east coast dur
ing the period of Cdthbert's exemplary
rule over the monks of Holy Island,
MISUNDERSTANDING that Farne
would be the victim of some future
Viking raid-he laid an Injunction upon
his ecclesiastic subordinates that, should
such calamity accrue after his
death, they or4Eeir successors would
disinter hi, r.i.1ains and convey them
to the mainland. The monks of
Lindisfarne, however, did not wait to
dig up Cuthbert's body until the ar
rival of the Danes. They performed
that operation eleven years after his
decease, with view to transferring
the corpse of their respected prior to
another part of the island, and were
greatly surprised when, upon inspect
ing it, they observed that it exhibited
no signs whatever of decay or even of
deterioration. Installed in new
coffin, and freely shown to persons
attracted to Lindisfarne by it's mirac-
ulous reputation, the incorrupt body
worked wonders for many year, and
was the object of profound and gem
eral popular veneration. One hun
dred and seventy-four years after
Cuthberts demise, however, the
Scandin avian sea-folks did actually
swoop down on the Northumbrian
islet, whereupon the monks of Farne
carried off Cuthbert's body to the main
land, and wandered about with it in
the border country for seven years, at
the expiration of which time they de-
posted it at Chester-le-street 1t was
not DIES med to remain long in its rest
ing place. In the year SO fresh
Danish invasion started it a0ain---this
time on the road southward-an it
found refuge at Ripon. When tran
guilty had once more been restored to
the border the monks in charge of the
sacred relic set out with the intention
of carrying it back to Chester-le-
Street, but were miraculously staid on
their journey at a place called The
Deers' Meadow DUR Holm, after
wards Durham-Where they settled
down definitely with the remains of
Prior Cuthbert. just ten years prior
to O cen Victorias accession to the
throne they were eXhumed, aud

PREMATURE BURIAL,
The Horrible Experience and Death of an
Elderly French Woman.


Elderly French Woman.
Another case of premature burial
worthy of being analysed in the real
istic manner of lola has occurred in
France. An elderly woman who lived
at st. Ouen in Louerie recently fell i'll,
and, as her friends thought, died The
funeral took place, and as the grave
digger was preparing to lower the coffin
into the earth he heard means issuing
from inside the lugubrious four boards
enclosing the presumed corpse. The
grave-digger, half frightened at the
probable ghost which his imagination
conjured up, and partly awed by the
requirements enacted by the law
in circumstances such as those in
which he found himself placed, left
the coffin in care of the mourners and
went off with his sombre story to M. lie
Marie. That rural dignitary, having
duly donned his scarf of office and
summoned the village doctor, pro-
ceeded to the local Goods acre. The
coffin was then opened. and it was dis
covered that the woman had just died
from fright, having awakened from
trance to find herself hemmed in be-
tween the terrible deal planks.
When horrible scenes like this are
repeated it is time for the authorities
and the public at large to take into
consideration the invention of the in
genious undertaken who has adopted as
his motto: "No more premature
burials." This practical person offers
to supply in all cases of doubtful death
an apparatus by means of which those
who have had the misfortune to be
buried alive may not only inhale fresh
air on their awakening, but also COM
municate by signal with the world
which has left them for dead.-London
Telegraph.

YANKEE EARNESTNESS.
A Few Anecdotes of the Once Weu-KnOw
General Leach.

A Few Anecdotes of the Once Wen-Known
General Leach.
The old-fashioned Yankees. when
they became interested in any thing,
took off their coats. put their shoulders
to the wheel. and pushed. General
Leach, large iron-found r of Easton,
Mass, was one of this class. Becom-
ing interested in new religious socie-
ty, which had separated itself from the
old parish, he made it his business
to see that on stormy Sundays the
minister should have congregation.
He would harness his two horses to a
large covered wagon, and himself
drive it from house to house until it
was filled with church-goers and then
drive to the meeting house. H did
business in Boston, but the Thursday
evening prayer-meeting always found
him present, though he had to drive
out to Easton, and change horses
on the way. The next morning he
drove back to the city and resumed his
work. One Sunday, the agent of the
Peace Society preached, and on Mon
day began collecting tour through
the town His first call was made on
General Leach.
Il was interested in your discourse,
said the General; chow much do you
think you ought to get in this townP'
81 hope shall get at least fifty dol
lars" said the minister,
"Well, you ought to get that" an
swered the General "But as our
people have been pretty we'll taxed
lately, and as your time is valuable, l
might as well hand you the fifty dol
